Default 1983 Mustang GLX Help!

I have purchased a 1983 mustang glx it needs some work, im wondering if there are any places i could go to for getting a convertible top priced fairly cheap as well as installation. I am currently working on the heads as well as the body work. The carburetor needs to be re done and my exhaust needs patching or just a whole new kit. I am also wondering if there are any good online sites that sell hoods as well as trunk lids as mine is rusting through. The interior is as perfect as can be, there is absolutly nothing wrong with it except for the seats not staying put. Is there anything i can do, because they do not lock in place when i put them back they just rock back and fourth... Thank you for all of your help and i look forward to talking to all of you

The best place to look for convertible tops is online. Here's a couple links for you to check out
1983-90 FORD MUSTANG Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts

Convertible tops, mazda convertible tops, custom car truck interiors

Here's my recommendations for hoods.

www.cervinis.com/

As far as trunk lids, your best bet would be local automotive salvage yards and Ebay.
